Ideal Gas Lab Report
Instructions: For this investigative phenomenon, you will need to determine the experimental value of absolute zero using the relationship between volume and temperature of real gases. Record your data and calculations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report.
Explain how temperature and volume of a gas are related and use that to make a prediction about how you can use this information to calculate absolute zero.
Procedure:
Access the virtual lab and complete the two trials of the experiment simultaneously. List your controlled variables, independent variable, and dependent variable. Explain why these are the variables. Summarize the steps of the experimental procedure.
Materials:
Ideal Gas Virtual Lab
Variables:
Remember, controlled variables are factors that remain the same throughout the experiment. An independent (test) variable changes so that the experimenter can see the effect on other variables. The dependent (outcome) variable will change in response to the test variable.
Controlled variables:
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
